Maxi draws some comparisons to Uruguayan teammate Luis Suarez when it comes to strength, aggressiveness, and determination although their style of play is slightly apart.

While Suarez likes to be involved in the build-up play more often, Maxi is the static striker who usually positions himself in and around the opposition box.

His biggest strength is his ability to win aerial duels. The 22-year-old is very lethal in the air and has won an impressive 5.1 aerial duels so far this season. He is also capable of using both of his feet. The ability of a striker to protect the ball and retain possession high up the field is one of the most important things and this is something that the Uruguayan is good at.
